Enum ControllerElementType
Every Stone controller element can have one of any of the following types. This means a face button can be treated as a directional button, etc, and serves as hinting outside of the semantic meaning of the element keys themselves to the consumer.

Syntax
public enum ControllerElementTypeFields
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AxisNegative | An axis that decreases in value on the number line. For example, analog stick movement towards the left, or towards the backwards direction. |
| AxisPositive | An axis that increases in value on the number line. For example, analog stick movement towards the right, or towards the forward direction. |
| Button | A button, usually with a switch or dome that can be depressed on the controller, exclusing directional buttons |
| Directional | A directional button or D-pad button representing one of 8 cardinal directions |
| Gyroscope | A 3 axis rotation gyroscope of unspecified precision, where input can be expressed as a vector of 3 coordinates X, Y, and Z |
| Keyboard | A keyboard of an unspecified amount of keys. Intended for special-case keyboard handling for consumers |
| Null | This element does not exist. Intended for internal use for consumers |
| Pointer | A pointing device that can express position in the form of a contiguous set of coordinates on a multi-dimensional cartesian plane. Examples include a mouse, or the Wii Remote IR for 2D. |
| PointerAxisNegative | A pointer axis that increases in value on the number line, where the pointer device itself is not limited to axis-based representation. For example, continous left mouse movement. |
| PointerAxisPositive | A pointer axis that increases in value on the number line, where the pointer device itself is not limited to axis-based representation. For example, continous right mouse movement. |
| Rumble | A rumble motor that shakes the controller |
| Touchscreen | A touch sensitive surface of unspecified size and precision, where input can be expressed as a non-contiguous matrix of coordinates on a 2 dimentional cartesian plane. However, most touchscreens in video game controllers are only concerned with a single matrix due to the lack of multi-touch support. |
| Trigger | An analog shoulder trigger, able to be depressed smoothly with varying degrees of pressure from undepressed (0%) to fully depressed (100%), usually marked L2 or R2 |
